Toseiha

The Toseiha ("Control") was a faction of the Imperial Japanese Army involved in 1920s and 1930s politics in Japan. It was a moderate group, opposed to the fascist Kodoha faction, with Tetsuzan Nagata and Hideki Tojo leading the faction in opposition to Sadao Araki and Jinzaburo Masaki's Kodoha. After the February 26 Incident of 1936 led to the purge of the Kodoha, the Toseiha lost its reason of being and disbanded.
